Suddenly, the door of the south room was opened, and Cao Zhiqiang's brief memories stopped.
After opening his eyes, Cao Zhiqiang immediately saw his adopted sister, Cao Lili, walking out of the south room.
After Cao Lili came out, she glanced at the Shanghai brand radio cassette player on the table.
At this time, Cao Zhiqiang had paused the tape recorder to facilitate his sister's viewing and brother and sister's conversation.
"Sister, are you out?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Have you finished your homework?"
"Yeah." Cao Lili nodded, then looked at the cassette player on the table with a puzzled face and said, "Where did this cassette player come from?"
Cao Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows and said to Cao Lili with a smile: "How obvious, of course it was my brother who bought it."
Cao Lili glanced at Cao Zhiqiang, then walked to the tape recorder and looked at it carefully, then turned to look at Cao Zhiqiang, frowned, and hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter?" Cao Zhiqiang asked with a smile, "If you have any questions, just ask them. For others, forget it. For you, I won't hide it."
Cao Lili was silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "The origin of the radio cassette player...is it correct?"
"Be at ease!"
Cao Zhiqiang took a sip of coffee and then said with a smile.
"This is the money I earned from manuscript fees. Not only was it money, but the industrial volumes were also given to me by other publishing houses. I then went to Gulou Street to buy them.
Guaranteed to be clean and pure!
Brother, I am the one who makes money standing up now, I don’t have to shrink down and lower my head, and I don’t have to hide and tuck in!”
Cao Lili frowned and nodded: "As long as you know it."
"You, you." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head.
"I said sister, don't pretend to be a grown-up all day long, okay?
You are only twelve years old, so you look a bit like a twelve-year-old child.
For example, when seeing this new tape recorder, shouldn't a child like you jump for joy, then run over, touch it, and ask questions?
Why do you look so worried about the country and the people, worried about this and that?
This doesn't suit your style, sister!
Come and learn from me!
Open your mouth slightly, turn up the corners of your mouth, expose four teeth, make fists with your hands, hold your chin, tilt your head slightly, open your eyes wide, and say wow, Monkey Sai Lei... That's perfect!"
Cao Lili rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang, who was acting cute, and then stopped talking. She sat on a chair next to her, rested her chin on her hands, and stared at the cassette player quietly with her eyes wide open, obviously wanting to listen to the song.
Seeing Cao Lili like this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and stopped spoiling the atmosphere by talking nonsense. He turned on the play button of the cassette recorder again and slightly increased the volume. He sat aside, picked up the enamel jar filled with coffee again, and quieted down with his sister.
Listen to songs.
a certain day of a certain year and a certain month
like a broken face
It's hard to say goodbye
Just let everything go away
…
Well, although the Shanghai brand L-400 recorder is just an ordinary domestic recorder, it still uses cassette tapes, but it has both a woofer and a tweeter, and the spare parts are also very sophisticated. In this era, it is not as good as similar products.
In comparison, the sound quality is quite good.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have won the first prize in the 1982 national tape recorder quality competition.
Specific performance...
The treble is sweet, the midrange is accurate, and the bass is deep. In a word, it is transparent.
It was worth it that he spent 380 yuan and 34 industrial papers.
However, while Cao Zhiqiang was quietly listening to songs with his sister, Qin Huairu's house next door, no, it should be Jia Zhang's house now.
Because at this time Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu had become a couple and lived in the deaf old lady's room together.
The room where He Yuzhu originally lived was blocked by Bang Jie.
Xiaodang also got a job and moved into the penthouse that was formerly occupied by He Yuyu.
Only Huaihua, who is currently unemployed, still lives with the Jia and Zhang family in the old house of the Jia family.
That is the room in the west wing of the middle courtyard that is separated from the Cao family by a wall.
Therefore, when the music started playing again and the sound was louder, others might not be able to hear it, but the Jia and Zhang family, who were separated by a wall, could hear it clearly.
"Huh?" Sophora japonica, who was picking vegetables with Jia Zhang in the room, stopped at this time, "Grandma, what sound do you hear?"
Jia Zhang kept her hands on her hands: "What kind of sound can there be?"
"It's the sound of music!" Huaihua stood up, "It sounds so good! Where does it come from?"
Jia Zhang didn't even raise her head: "Maybe someone has the radio on."
"No, this sound is not like the sound of a radio. There is no noise." Huaihua put down the basket in her hand, "No, I have to go and take a look."
"Hey, where are you going?" Jia Zhang asked quickly, "It's raining outside."
"It's okay, it's drizzle, don't be afraid!"
After saying this, Sophora japonica had already rushed out of the room and came to the patio.
After arriving at the patio, Sophora japonica listened attentively and quickly recognized that the sound came from the West Crossing Courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, Sophora japonica ran into the west courtyard, and immediately saw the bicycle in front of Cao Zhiqiang's house, with three kilograms of pork belly hanging on it, and baskets of fruits, vegetables and cans of beer.
At the same time, she immediately knew where the sound came from.
It is Cao Zhiqiang's family.
After confirming that it was Cao Zhiqiang's family, Huaihua was a little hesitant.
No matter if it was her silly father, her mother, or of course her grandma, brother, and sister, they all warned her not to talk to Cao Zhiqiang, and not to hang out with him, saying that he was not a good person.
The reason is very simple. Cao Zhiqiang used to be a famous street kid, and he was very unfilial. He would fight and slap his wife all day long.
It is said that he had previously had an idea of Huaihua and Xiaodang, and once secretly followed Huaihua and Xiaodang when they went to the bathhouse to take a bath together.
It's just that Huaihua and Xiaodang are protected by stupid dads, and her stupid dad, He Yuzhu, is the God of War in the quadrangle and is the ceiling of combat power in this courtyard.
So when Xiaodang found out that Cao Zhiqiang was following him, he immediately told He Yuzhu when he returned.
He Yuzhu didn't say anything and immediately went to warn Cao Zhiqiang.
From then on, Cao Zhiqiang no longer dared to have any ideas about Huaihua and Xiaodang.
Not only did he not dare to hit on Huaihua and Xiaodang, he also didn't dare to hit on the young girls in the courtyard, such as Liu Yuanyuan and others, and he only dared to hook up with little girls outside.
Although everyone said that since his mother died, he suddenly changed into a different person and has now changed his ways.
But this still can't dispel Huaihua's concerns, and she still doesn't pay much attention to him.
But now...
After biting her lip, Huaihua closed her eyes and listened to the singing, but she still couldn't help but be curious.
After all, the voice is so nice and the singing is so nice, I have never heard it before.
Of course.
Cao Zhiqiang's tapes were all the latest models from the south. They were given to him privately by the editor of the magazine. They were said to be parallel imports confiscated by the publishing bureau and were only for insiders in the relevant system. Ordinary people were on the street at this time.
Can't easily buy it online.
Even if you can buy one, most people don't have a tape recorder at home at this time and can't play tapes.
During this period, tape recorders were still very luxurious items. Not to mention imported ones, domestic ones cost two to three hundred. Today, when the monthly income is generally forty or fifty yuan, not everyone can have one.
Radios, on the other hand, were already relatively popular at this time, and there were even some overproductions. Many people had them at home, and their popularity rate was about the same as that of bicycles.
"What are you afraid of? I have a stupid father, so he wouldn't dare to do anything to me." Huaihua cheered herself up.
There is no way, Huaihua is only twenty-one years old now, which is the time when she is curious and impulsive.
At this time, when I first heard such a beautiful singing voice, especially the sound quality was so good and there was no noise at all, of course I wanted to take a closer look.
However, as soon as she finished cheering up and took a step forward, she flinched again: "But, my mother and stupid father have repeatedly warned me not to associate with Cao Zhiqiang, and he is so bad, what if he does anything to me?"
What to do with the idea?”
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and another person ran over.
Sophora japonica took a look and saw that it was Liu Yuanyuan who was standing on the west side of the front yard.
